| Quotations by Harry Truman |
 A friend in Washington - You want a friend in Washington? Get a dog.Victory over themselves - In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won were over themselves . . . self discipline with all of them came first. Regulate matters of the mind and spirit - Those who want the Government to regulate matters of the mind and spirit are like men who are so afraid of being murdered that they commit suicide to avoid assassination. The first atomic bomb used in war - Sixteen hours ago an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima. . . . It is a harnessing of the basic powers of the universe. The force from which the sun draws its powers has been loosed against those who brought war to the Far East. What the President is - All the President is, is a glorified public relations man who spends his time flattering, kissing and kicking people to get them to do what they are supposed to do anyway. |
